Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Times will always decide everything at the right time!

"What do you want to do?"

November 1, 2223, just after 8 a.m.

In the crowded original Capitol Square, mutants stood quietly one after another. This number made many members of the surrounding administrative departments feel fear.

Gil stood in front of a group of mutants. He stared quietly at the leading mutants. They were all presidents of some private mutant organizations. Nowadays, mutants are still coming to the upper levels. Their There is only one purpose, to come to the Congress Square.

"Your protest appeal has been submitted to Congress, and it will be effective at the city meeting next month."

"Stop saying it works, next month? This year is almost over, when is next month, the only thing I know is that many of us can't find jobs right now, or even be able to go into some crowded places, and that's what we Do you deserve it?”

A mutant guild president asked, and Jill shook her head solemnly.

"Your demands have been submitted to Congress from the 120 district members in the city, and Congress will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Please go back."

"What if we were to get an answer today?"

A mutant said, and Gil took a step forward.

"Please all of you go back."

Gil said again, but the mutants in the square still had no intention of leaving, and just waited quietly.

"If you can't find workers, you can temporarily go to the eastern agricultural base. There are a lot of jobs there, but they are not within the prescribed scope."

Gil didn't intend to respond to these mutants, because he knew that this was the right thing to do. The streets near Area 1 had been blocked. Many mutants wanted to enter Area 1, but were blocked and isolated. Outside, they did not leave, but stood quietly on the opposite side of the street, while the people in the business department faced each other.

Many mutants found a place to sit down. Under the call of several mutant association presidents, most of the mutants in the city responded and came to the Capitol Square together today. However, after being noticed by the Executive Department, Later, after thousands of mutants poured into District 1, the administrative department began to adopt a street blockade strategy.

At this time, the mutants in front of Jill sat down one after another, and most of the mutants behind him also sat down. Everyone was sitting quietly without saying anything. When calling, most of the mutant presidents were very rational. , constantly warning all mutants who are willing to come over, that violence cannot solve any problems. The regulations introduced this time are the fault of Congress, which has led to the dramatic deterioration of the relationship between ordinary people and mutants.

There were some mutants holding up signs that said we were not at fault.

The examinations for rating mutants have been suspended, and fewer and fewer mutants have come to take part in the examinations recently. Gil did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

It's just that Gil doesn't think there is any problem, because he believes what Tang Rao said, the number of mutants is always a big threat, this matter must be solved, although the current approach is a bit rough, but in exchange It has won the approval of most people in the city. In Gill's opinion, the majority is always much more important than the minority. He also has his own position and considers it from the standpoint of the majority. However, mutant people now have only one choice. Join the business department.

As of the end of last month, the number of mutants recruited by the Acting Department had reached 10,000. Jill was busy assigning mutants from the Acting Department to Sections 3 and 5 every day.

Gil looked at the mutant people in front of him. He did not order them to be driven away, because once they were driven away, it would turn into a conflict. And once the conflict really started, the mutant riots would be far more serious than the riots of ordinary people.

Then Gill also sat down, and the several regional officers behind him looked solemn at this time. If a mutant riot really occurred, the thousands of members of the surrounding administrative departments might not be the opponents of the mutants here.

In the past two months, there have been more than 20 violent incidents of mutants. The rejection of mutants in the city has become more and more obvious. Many people are eager to divide an area for mutants to live, and then seal the area to prevent these mutants. Take to the streets.

Panic has spread uncontrollably in the city, and what recently made many ordinary people unable to sit still was a piece of news coming from a certain hospital.

Ordinary people with alienated genes in their bodies may also experience the phenomenon of mutants becoming violent. In the recent incidents of mutants becoming violent, several people who suddenly went berserk were originally just ordinary people, but like this The rumors have not been confirmed. Section 4 has issued statements many times. This is false.

Section 5 even arrested the person who made such remarks. However, many people felt that such rumors were not groundless, but the core issue that everyone was most worried about was the mutant population.

Mutated people are constantly launching protests. Every day, the General Affairs Department receives a large number of protest letters, which are submitted by local councillors. However, although this issue has been debated in several city meetings, there has never been any discussion. s solution.

Some people have proposed to abolish the regulations that require individuals or companies to recruit mutants based on a certain number of employees. However, doing so is tantamount to acknowledging the harm caused by this regulation to the city as a whole.

But the current problem is difficult to solve. For mutants as a whole, it will only become more and more difficult as time goes by.

Some mutants have succumbed and joined the industry, while some work as stevedores at food exchanges in the east, and some work in agricultural bases in the east. This is caused by the unfairness to the mutants as a whole.

And Congress was unable to come up with a decision that would satisfy mutants as a whole.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was already half an hour. There was no sound in the Capitol Square, although there were occasional whispers. Looking at the mutated people in front of him, Jill had made up his mind and would not retreat until Congress before finding a reasonable solution.

Reporters from major media outlets in the city are reporting on this matter. At this time, in the ward of the 4th Department Headquarters, Li Ang is using crutches in the ward. He can only move in this room and is not allowed to go out. The right side of Li Ang There is still no feeling in the body, and people from Department 4 come every now and then to help Li Ang collect blood.

Although some of Li Ang's NDA costs are said to be used to make drugs to suppress the problem of mutants going berserk, Li Ang knows very well that he has personally experienced mutants going berserk, and the drug cannot have an effect. This state is different from his own. The state of mind has a great relationship.

Li Ang had already told Hua Shen clearly about the situation at that time. He first saw the violent mutants, and then he began to be afraid. He was afraid that he would become like that. Later, he heard people nearby on the street complaining about the mutants. After seeing people's opinions, he then thought of the alienated genes that were detected in his body, and he began to be afraid.

It was at this time that Li Ang's body had problems. The violent transformation of mutants has a lot to do with psychology. During this time, except for Hua Shenhui who asked himself some psychological questions, other doctors basically didn't care about these. thing.

Looking at the reports on the light and shadow screen, Li Ang felt very uncomfortable. Because of his relationship, the winery was now closed. Although Li Xin thought of some ways to help him, it was of no use.

Some of the accounting records of the winery in the past, including many things in operation, were all done by Li Ang himself without relying on anyone. Now that he is hospitalized here for observation and treatment, the winery can only temporarily suspend operations, and the wine produced has been stored in The underground warehouse was temporarily closed.

Reporters on the news are saying that mutants are very likely to cause large-scale riots. The words sound extremely harsh to Li Ang. He has always disagreed with Congress's approach. This approach is obviously wrong, but Congress There is still no solution, and there are more and more problems between ordinary people and mutants.

"Please go back to where you came from!"

A regional officer from Section 5 looked at the mutants gathering on the edge of Area 3, opposite Area 1, and couldn't bear it anymore and walked over.

"Your behavior has hindered traffic and the normal order of the city. If you continue, we will arrest you for violating the Public Security Law."

As the scientific officer said this, one by one the mutants stretched out their hands.

"If you want to make an arrest, hurry up."

"Yeah, at least you can eat and drink when you go in."

Several mutants laughed. At this time, the section officer was a little angry. Just as he was about to step forward, another regional section officer came over, grabbed him, and pulled him back from across the street.

"What are you doing Tamai?"

Tamai shook his head.

"There is no need to do anything. As long as we do nothing, they won't do anything. Congress should be thinking of ways now."

Looking at the excited emotions of many people, Tamai sighed. He knew very well that if this continued, conflicts would be inevitable, and now only a small amount of conflict was enough to cause this huge commotion caused by mutants. Hard to calm down.

Tamai turned around and ran. He planned to go to the General Affairs Department. This was an issue that Peristan and Tamai had discussed. What to do if they encountered such an imminent conflict, Tamai bluntly said that there was nothing he could do.

"It's very simple, just answer them, listen carefully to what they say, and listen carefully to the demands of these people. Nothing will happen. And if you can't satisfy the demands for the time being, don't stand with these people. On the contrary, they will naturally disperse slowly."

Tamai wants to go directly to Section Chief Alpha. Now the section chiefs are meeting in the General Affairs Department to discuss how to solve this problem, including the presidents of the eight major factions. If there is no clear answer to the mutants today, , I don’t know how long this situation will last.

Tamai quickly passed through the blockades. He really wanted to tell the senior management of the business department everything that Parastan had warned him.

Perestan once said that the biggest problem in cities is the problem between the majority and the minority. This is also the biggest problem that human society continues to this day. However, there is no way to solve this problem, especially when resources are limited and it is necessary to satisfy the minority. When people need to satisfy the majority, they usually only choose the majority, while the minority will be ruthlessly discarded.

Tamai didn't want to see a violent conflict today. Soon Tamai saw the stairs of the General Affairs Department, the people from the General Affairs Department and some councillors. Now the councilors and the Business Section were temporarily separated. They united and held a meeting in the General Affairs Section, but did not choose to go to the Congress Hall.

Everyone's face was tense. Once such a conflict occurred, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the city in an instant. Most of the mutants were still moving towards Area 1.

Tamai even thought that if someone secretly fanned the flames, the situation would get out of hand.

Soon Tamai ran into the lobby of the General Affairs Department. He ran directly to the elevator and knew that the conference room was on the fifth floor. After taking the elevator straight to the fifth floor, Tamai saw two people guarding the door not far away. The director of Section 1, he immediately ran over.

"Is there a problem?"

"There is something I need to report directly to Lord Alpha."

The two council officers shook their heads.

"Please just submit it directly."

"This matter is very important. I have to explain it to the section chief. I need to explain it in person."

Tamai looked at the two council officers, their expressions became solemn.

"The section chiefs are having an important meeting now, please wait outside."

Tamai took out the phone and pressed the 0005 number, and Alpha soon picked up.

"Master Alpha, I have something important to report to you. I am at the door of the conference room now. If possible, please allow me to come in."

Tamai heard one voice after another, and it seemed that there was a fierce debate going on inside.

"I understand, just wait a few minutes."

Alpha hung up the phone and glanced at the door, and Brandon's angry voice reached his ears.

"If it is cancelled, how will the ordinary people in the city think about it? How will they accept it? Nowadays, the economic situation is a little better, and all walks of life are also growing steadily. If the previous regulations are rashly cancelled, Things are going to get messier and worse.”

"I'm not saying to cancel this rule, but just change some of the details in this rule to meet the work needs of 200,000 mutants."

A congressman next to Lin Xiao said that nearly 50 congressmen gathered in this conference room, but there were only 12 section chiefs and Locke Jiahui in the administrative department.

The focus of everyone's debate now is whether to revise or not revise the regulations restricting mutants that were previously issued in order to reduce the unemployment rate in the city. Such a meeting is not a formal meeting because it has not been resolved in Congress, but the city There are provisions for emergency response, and the General Affairs Department can summon the powerful people or businessmen in the city to discuss countermeasures.

The problem has reached a point of urgency, but everyone is still debating it now, because if the regulations are revised anyway, the situation will really get very bad, but if there is no response now, the mutant group may be about to trigger a crisis. A large-scale conflict that could affect the city.

Alpha looked at the people who were still arguing. She didn't say a word, and the gods still hadn't issued any orders. Alpha knew very well that the gods had gathered in the Capitol Square in the past. Recalling that the Capitol Building was still there in the past, On the day of demolition, they took over the baton from the previous managers, but they did no better than the previous managers.

But at this moment, Alpha had an idea. Looking at the red-faced congressman arguing with Brandon across from him, Alpha couldn't sit still anymore.

"Stop arguing."

Alpha said, but the two continued to argue. Alpha slapped the table, and the voices inside stopped for a moment.

"It is meaningless to continue arguing. It has been two hours now and no one has said a solution. Instead, they are arguing over a regulation issued in the past. Is this kind of argument meaningful?"

"I agree with what Chief Alpha said."

Freya said, Alpha turned around, and just when everyone didn't know what Alpha was going to do, Alpha opened the door.

"There's a young man here who wants to have a voice."

Tamai felt a huge pressure, and everyone in the room looked at him. He was only a regional section officer and had only been in office for a few months.

"Lord Alpha, me"

Alpha turned around and returned to his chair.

"Speak clearly if you have any questions."

Tamai was at a loss for words for a moment. She had clearly thought about something but couldn't say it at this moment.

Tamai felt that his vision was a little blurry, everyone was waiting for him to speak, and Alpha sighed.

"Tell me, what do you think we should do now?"

Alpha said, stood up and walked over.

"I think the blockade should be lifted."

"Stop kidding me kid."

Someone immediately laughed, Tamai lowered his head and didn't know what to say for a moment, and then Alpha turned around and walked away.

"Order all the officers who have blocked the streets in District 1 to evacuate. The people in Section 5 are on duty as normal, and the people in Section 3 are on standby."

For a moment, Tamai looked at Alpha in shock, and Locke stood up.

"Alpha, what are you doing?"

Alpha smiled and turned around.

"It may be difficult for you to figure it out in a short time, but this is the best way to stop the riot."

"No, Chief Alpha, it's too risky."

Baozhen, who had always been taciturn, stood up and said, and objections began to appear. Alpha took out a cigarette and lit it before saying.

"I am the section chief of the 5th Public Security Management Section. The security of the city is our department's business. Just shut up!"

Alpha started walking. She planned to go home. Now the only one who could solve this problem was the Angus family.

Didi didi

"Section Chief, stop joking, where are you?"

"Do as I say Gil and unblock."

Alpha said and walked quickly, and soon she came directly to a room where a bunch of people from the General Affairs Department were on standby. This was a place where broadcasts could be made to the whole city.

"Connect the whole city's lines immediately."

Several members of the General Affairs Department got busy, and Alpha sat in front of a microphone.

"That's enough, Alpha-sama."

There were bursts of footsteps behind him, Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile.

"Good morning everyone, I am Alpha, the section chief of the 5th Public Security Management Section. I believe everyone has seen what happened today. What I want to say now is, please just maintain a normal life. There is no need to worry! Nothing will happen. I promise you. At the same time, I also hope that all mutants can restrain their emotions. The Congress is now thinking of ways. A reasonable measure will be given before today. If you want to sit in and demonstrate, you can do it. Okay, whether it’s a demonstration or a demonstration, please don’t cause any riots. Your demands are already being processed. If anyone violates the Public Security Law, I will arrest him no matter what reason he has!”

After Alpha finished speaking, he stood up and started walking. Locke looked at her with a livid face.

"This decision, if things turn out to be"

"So do you have a better solution?"

Alpha quickly walked through the crowd and jumped out of the window. Now he only had to return home to find his parents to find a solution. They might be able to temporarily alleviate the plight of the mutated people.

Recently, Alpha has not only focused on work. From time to time, she will go to some places to have a drink, and people will always come over. Alpha is also happy to have a drink with them. From the mouths of many people, Alpha has learned more things. Now Now I understand why Jean is so keen on this kind of thing.

Since there is no answer, there is no need to get the answer prematurely, and just after hearing such an approach from Tamai's mouth, Alpha understood it in an instant.

The established facts already exist, so there is no need to block this hole and just let these normal demands flow out.

At this time, many people from Section 3 began to leave on the street. Many mutants who were on the periphery of Area 1 or even more peripheral and wanted to enter Area 1 were very strange, especially those mutants who were blocked on some roads in the middle level. People, watching the people in the business department have lifted the blockade, some mutants tried to walk over.

"You can go up if you want, but don't cause trouble."

Several mutants nodded and walked quickly, and some mutants behind them also followed. Everyone wanted to know the result.

Gil looked at the mutant people in the square and began to move. Most of the mutants poured directly into the streets of District 1. Many ordinary people looked at these mutants at a loss, but everything was normal. Gil was very They were worried that these mutants would cause trouble, but after many mutants entered Area 1, some of them entered nearby restaurants and bars, and some started shopping.

Some mutants also gathered on the street and began to march, holding slogans high and not shouting any slogans.

Most mutants just want to get their lives back, because the regulations introduced at the beginning of the year have completely disrupted the lives of mutant people.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost ten minutes before noon. No problems occurred in the city. A large number of mutants gathered, and some chose to wait in the middle area.

Locke is still listening to some of the solutions proposed by lawmakers and section chiefs, but many of the problems are unrealistic.

The most practical thing is to modify the regulations, but such regulations can only be slowly revised in Congress until they can satisfy both ordinary people and mutants.

Locke looked at the two empty seats. One of them was for subject 5 and the other was for subject 13. He missed the time when Jean was still there. What would he do if Jean was here? This is what Locke is thinking about now. the most questions.

Locke thought about the past time that he had embezzled the food purchased from the mine for the sake of the survival of workers near a mine. Under Jean's suggestion, most of the conflicts in the mine disappeared and he was fired. .

Gene often uses this method to solve problems, and it is actually very effective. But this time the problem is different and difficult to solve. It cannot be solved by finding a clear goal for everyone and unifying everyone's consensus.

Locke knew very well where Alpha was going. Now he could only rely on the Angus family, and only the Angus family would help. However, the attitude of the gods towards the Angus family over the years, and the fact that Congress still owes Angus family The Gus family has a lot of money. With the opening of the subway in recent years, the situation of the Angus family has improved a lot.

Locke pressed his forehead in annoyance. Everyone was thinking of a solution. The presidents of the eight major associations stopped talking at this time. Someone had to take on the problem of mutants, but now everyone has different ideas. Although mutants used to be It can create high profits for businessmen, but now that urban employment has steadily increased, businessmen have actually made greater profits, and mutants have been abandoned by some businessmen.

Now that the city's overall economy is good, businessmen are even more willing to add to this good economy.

On the empty First Avenue, Alpha strolled beside the ginkgo tree that had begun to turn yellow. She looked at the home not far from her in front of her. She didn't know how to talk to her parents, because if the Angus family really took action to solve the problem , the Angus family, which finally came back to life, may fall into a situation of high debt again.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Alpha did not go in immediately, but was thinking about the fact that the last time the Angus family was reviewed as a whole because of a rumor, which made most people in the family very dissatisfied, and his parents It's the same thing. What the Business Department did last time has chilled the Angus family.

Alpha was still thinking about whether to go in or not. At this time, a car was speeding towards this direction, and Su Li was lying on the car window with a smile.

"What's wrong, little princess? Why don't you go in when you get home?"

Alpha glanced at Su Li, shook his head, and Su Li got out of the car.

"I kind of figured you'd come back Alpha."
